Conservation Innovation Grants 2009

State Competition Applications Due May 1, 2009 - National Competition Ended March 20

Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) has two competitions available in fiscal year 2009 -- National and State. The National sign up ended March 20. The Arkansas deadline is May 1.

CIG is a voluntary program intended to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. Under CIG, Environmental Quality Incentives Program funds are used to award competitive grants to non-Federal governmental or non-governmental organizations, Tribes, or individuals. CIG enables NRCS to work with other public and private entities to accelerate technology transfer and adoption of promising technologies and approaches to address some of the Nation's most pressing natural resource concerns. CIG will benefit agricultural producers by providing more options for environmental enhancement and compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations. NRCS administers CIG.
